Watermelon Jalapeno Margarita

My love for margaritas runs deep. Lauren’s vice right now is bourbon, mine is tequila. Growing up in southern California, I quickly grew an appreciation for Mexican culture. Their food is my favorite, I love it so much I can’t imagine living anywhere that I can’t get a good taco. I love their music and dancing and beautiful language. Their vibrant use of color never fails to be inspiring. But the thing I might enjoy the most is tequila – especially in margarita form!

This watermelon jalapeno margarita is sweet and has a bit of heat. I love how fun this recipe is! The jalapeno slices infuse the cocktail with a nice kick. Typically margaritas have a salted rim, but for this recipe I recommend a sugared rim. It gives a sweet balance to the jalapenos. This recipe is also perfect for Cinco de Mayo, which is right around the corner!
